I used my bread machine to make this bread overnight. Becaure of this I couldn't monitor the consistency of the dough. The loaf came out really high (overflowing the pan) and very light/airy. It does have a good flavor however so I am going to play around with it - less buttermilk maybe or more flour. The taste is good enough it's worth the experimenting. As written though I would only give it 2-3 stars.

I'm going to give this 4 stars even though my first attempt came out way too doughy. I did use lowfat plain Kefir in place of the buttermilk, but I don't think that's why it was so doughy. I used my bread machine to do the kneading and baked it in the oven. The flavor was fantastic. The next time I try this recipe (probably tomorrow becauase I HAVE to overcome failure) I will use less Kefir.

I love this recipe. I put everything in the breadmaker, and it smells great when it's done. Good bread for toast in the mornings.

One of the best bread recipes. If you like a sweeter bread, use dark honey; if not use a lighter honey. I made 2 loaves and doubled everything except yeast, used 2 cups buttermilk and proofed the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water before adding the other ingrediants. I still added an extra cup white flour, but you could also add whole wheat.

This bread is awesome! I can change it around and use more whole wheat flour and it is still wonderful. I let it raise in my bread machine and then take it out and shape it in a round loaf on my pizza paddle and cover with a cloth. After it is risen I slash the top. While it is raising I preheat my oven with a pizza stone and then after my stone is good and hot I slide it onto my stone to cook and it always turns out well.

I followed the recipe as far as the ingredients, but used the "manual" instructions listed by another reviewer, since I don't have a bread machine. This bread is wonderful!! I look forward to making this again, and hopefully will have a new mixer by that time, that will help with the dough!

Best wheat bread recipe I've had yet... Used a bread machine...altered it to 1 c buttermilk the second time I made it and didn't have to add extra flour because the dough was it was too sticky. Came out perfect the second time! I selected 1 1/2 lb on my bread machine. I do wish the recipe stated the size loaf this should make...it would help the newcomers to the recipes.

First let me just say I have baked a lot of breads but for some reason I couldn't find a good wheat bread until now thanks so much for this recipe my bread is so soft and taste so so good I put some home made honey butter on my bread as soon as I took it out of the oven and talk about good and also I am so glade that I took a look at some of the other reviews because that also help me a lot thanks to you Pat V your were a big help to me. Can I also let some of you know it is so easy to make your own butter,butter milk by use heavy cream and your mixer if you get some heavy cream and put it in your mixer and let it do all the work your butter will be at the bottom of the mixer,your butter milk will be on top just put your butter milk in 1 jar and them put your butter in a blow with a top and your ready to go and the taste is so good. Give it a try I think you will love it. they have some butter recipe on this site that are real good. THANKS SO MUCH TERRY I WILL POST A PIC. OF MY BREAD PS. I DID ADD 2 TABLESPOONS MORE OF HONEY

this is a terrific loaf. very tender. I used my bread machine to knead and added wheat gluten to it. I found the dough sticky but I just added more whole wheat flour . I am new to making bread and this was my second recipe I tried. I will make this again and again.

I'm just beginning to use my breadmaker and put this in just before church. I was a little concerned I would come home to a burnt mound but it came out beautifully. Everyone loved it! The buttermilk/honey/wheat combination was delicious! I will put this on my list of regulars!

This is excellent as is, but when I've made alterations it's wonderful too. I make it in the bread machine, just reversing the order of ingredients from wet to dry and use the large loaf setting. Very moist and delicious. My family is spoiled now and only wants this recipe - thanks for sharing!

This recipe kind of puzzled me. I was expecting something fantastic based on the reviews, but I was a bit disappointed. I didn't have buttermilk on hand, so I used milk and lemon juice (adding 1 tbs of lemon juice to a cup of milk can be used as buttermilk substitution). The bread fell in the middle, yet ran over the sides of the container and burned. Once the bread was done and I cut away the burned part (why waste good bread?), it tasted ok. But I couldn't taste the honey, and I had hoped it would have a touch of sweetness to it. It just seemed like regular wheat bread. It tasted fine, but seemed like a lot of extra ingredients for no result of extra flavor. I would say I'll play around a bit with the honey and buttermilk, but because it fell in the middle I'm not really interested in trying again.

I must have done something wrong, because it was a soupy mess in my bread maker. I just did the dough part, with plans to put it in the bread pans and bake it in the oven (I don't like bread machine bread). But when I went to get it out of the bread machine, I literally had to pour it out. Very sticky. At the same time, I made the same recipe in a bowl by hand. That one turned out okay, so I'm not really sure why the one in the bread machine was so soupy. Maybe it just has to be made completely in the bread machine to do well. I let it rise for over an hour in the pans and it didn't do real well there either, but maybe that's because I used cold buttermilk instead of at "room temp". I've made easier recipes that turn out just as well, so I don't think I'll make this one again. It sounds like everyone else loves it, though, so it could have just been that I made a mistake somewhere along the line.

This bread was very tasty and the texture was perfect. It didn't last in our household...I made it twice in a row. So delicious. Today I substituted 1 cup of oats for 1 cup of the all purpose flour and this bread still turned out perfectly soft and tasty. This is my favourite bread recipe.

This bread is awesome! My husband says it's the best bread I've made so far. It has a nice taste, and is slightly moist but still holds up to being sliced. I will make this again and again. I did the whole thing in the bread machine.

Very good bread recipe! Sliced very nice and had very good flavor, not sweet at all. I made mine with 3 cups of whole wheat flour to make a "true" whole wheat bread. Mine didn't collaspe, I used only 1 cup of buttermilk. For my bread machine--for a 2 pound loaf you use 11/2 cups of liquid with 4 cups of flour and for a 11/2 pound loaf you use 1 cup of liquid and 3 cups of flour. Next time will try and make with 2 cups of wheat and 1 cup of bread flour to see what I come up with and than try it with 1 cup of wheat and 2 cups of bread flour and see which way my family likes the best. Good recipe to trinker with! Thanks.

Yummy bread! I did mix the yeast with sugar and warm water 15 minutes before putting the ingredients into my breadmaker. And I also did the whole thing in the breadmaker - I used the Wheat Bread setting with light crust (Oster breadmaker). The bread did collapse (which my 4-year-old thought was hysterical!) but it was still absolutely delicious! One of the best breads I've had and I'll definitely make it again. Next time I'll try baking it in the oven to see the difference. Thanks for the recipe!
